What I would do as GM
What I would do if I were GM with $50 million plus in cap space:

On offense in order of priority.

1. Sign Mike Wallace:

He fits best with this group. Bess is a slot/possession guy who is good at getting open in short spaces and gaining a couple of extra yards after the catch. Hartline is a good short to intermediate possession receiver that can beat the secondary deep once in a while, but is not a gamebreaker. They have 2 touchdowns between them. Wallace has 8 touchdowns this season and 32 for his career (he averages 8 TDs a year so he is consistent).

You need that guy to compliment those skillsets and that guy is Wallace. He's the fastest receiver in the NFL. He can blow the top off a defense. Defenses will no longer be able to stack eight in the box with Wallace in the game.

If defenses want to box 8 and play one on one outside, he will burn them deep. If they want to play off and prevent the big play, that will create room for Bess and Hartline underneath.

Bottom line: Wallace adds a dynamic this offense is sorely lacking: speed. He is a deep threat and is young at 26 years of age. He is worth the big bucks.

2. Resign Brian Hartline:

He has had a breakout year and seems to improve each season. As mentioned before, he is a nice short to intermediate threat and three weapons are better than two.

3A. Try to resign Jake Long at a fair deal:

I know there is a lot of talk about Jake Long declining and seeing what Jonathan Martin can do. Whether Martin plays better the rest of the way or not, I still try to bring Long back. I mentioned paramaters of a contract in another thread, around the neighborhood of 5 years, $45 million and $10 million in guarantees. I would incentivize the contract based on his health to offer some protection and offer incentives based on games played etc. If he balks, here is plan B:

3B. Look at other top tackles in free agency:

Go after either Ryan Clady, Branden Albert or Sebastian Vollmer and draft a tackle anywhere in rounds 2-4 to develop for the future while Martin and the big free agent acquisition hold the fort. This way we have three options for the two positions in case Martin doesn't develop. I think Vollmer would be the best option from a price versus quality perspective as Clady is probably looking for Joe Thomas-type money.

4. Upgrade at least one guard position:

Here is another opportunity to address a need with both a free agent veteran and a rookie. Brandon Moore and Andy Levitre are two free agent options that would immediately be an upgrade over John Jerry. I'd also look at guards late in the draft.

5. Sign a young, athletic tight end that can work the middle:

I'd start with Dustin Keller, who also brings speed and can line up at WR in certain sets. Fred Davis and Jared Cook are also options worth looking at in free agency. Delanie Walker is a sleeper.

6. Resign Reggie Bush at a fair price, try to move Daniel Thomas:

Daniel Thomas has shown very little at running back. I would move him and try to resign Bush and let Lamar Miller be the back up.

With these moves, we've now added deep speed at wide receiver, kept one of our best receivers, upgraded the offensive line, added a viable receiving otpion at tight end and keep speed and playmaking ability at the running back position.

On defense in order of priority:

The draft is deep at corner and defensive end, so the focus for the first two rounds should be there. The defense does not need a lot of help. I am happy with our linebackers, especially Koa Misi and the improvement he has shown. Our defensive line is strong but we need to put more pressure on the QB. The back-end of the defense is where I have concerns both at corner and free safety.

1. Acquire a playmaker at cornerback:

There isn't a lot in free agency. The only names that intrigue me are Dominique Rodgers Cromartie, Derek Cox and Brent Grimes. All of these players come with question marks (i.e. health, consistency), so buyer beware. Our best bet is to look for a corner in the 1st or 2nd round. There may be as many as 9 viable first/second round talents at corner this year with good size and measurables.

It all sounds pretty good to me, with a dfferent view on some observations. Wallace wouldbe my top priority too but I also would like a brusing type RB. Bringing back bush at a reasonable price is fine but not with miller as the backup. Nothing against miller at all. The kid has potential, but he is alot like bush. His size, speed, and running style is like bush so I would bring in a bigger back with a little power to go with them. It kinda puts us in a dilema because personally like thomas too.

Finjim, what you posted would be a miraculous offseason. The one thing I would change though, is instead of using money on a TE, try to get Cliff Avril to compliment Wake. Definitely still need Starks. Then in the draft we can get db's as much as we feel the need, another receiver, pass rusher, and other holes later

Sounds good to me honestly - the question - could Ireland pull that off

Avril is not very good this year. He's playing next to a pair of amazing DTs and simply not producing at a level you'd expect (he should have 10+ sacks by now, judging by the blocking schemes he has been seeing) and he will likely want BIG bucks.

He has 9.5 right now... thats not bad. You know, we also have a very good front seven too. Starks causes havoc almost like Suh. Plus, the Wake factor

This is ideal, although I am 75% sure we will not address any BIG FAs on offense. I see us going heavy on Def through FA, and drafting all of our players on offense. I see us picking up either D.Cox or DRC (which i dont like because he is a terrible tackler). I also think we need to free up all the money tied up between Dansby and Burnett and find cheaper options as niether of them are putting up great numbers, nor are doing much to stop TEs. I would obviously love Wallace and Keller/Cook on offense but Philbin is locked on his ways of building through the draft for offense, so I dont see us doing this, perhaps the Oline will be addressed in FA though.
